informing of an attack late yesterday on the joint military personnel from
Nigeria and Niger stationed in Asaka village, around 15 kilometres (nine miles)
from Ghashghar. According to them, Boko Haram launched an attack with heavy
guns and rocket-propelled grenades on the soldiers. The attackers came in eight
vehicles,” said the leader, who asked to remain anonymous fearing reprisal from
the military. The soldiers suffered huge casualties because they were
